Beaded Hope
Description:
Sometimes, hope finds you when you least expect it.
When three American women embark on a mission trip to Mamelodi, South Africa, they all have their own selfish reasons for going. One is running from a devastating loss; one is trying desperately to save her career; another is hoping this will be an opportunity to bridge the gap that has separated her from her stepdaughter.
What none of them expect is how profoundly their lives will be changed by the women they meet, women who combat disease and poverty daily yet still embrace life with joy. Each American woman is touched and transformed in a different way, yet they all come together when they discover an opportunity to help the South African women support their families by selling the amazing bead work that has been taught to generations of women in the community.
A moving story about the power of faith and hope to overcome even the most tragic circumstances, Beaded Hope was inspired by the nonprofit organization of the same name. Learn more about it at www.beadedhope.com. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this novel will go to support Beaded Hope.
Book Takeaway:
This book is about women helping women, whether it's right in our own neighborhoods ~ or clear across the world ~ and how the power of faith and friendship really can overcome even the most tragic circumstances. Truly nothing is impossible with God, and the promise of hope He often leads us to discover in one another.
Why the author wrote this book:
I wrote this book after being very much inspired by the faith-filled ladies of South Africa and also by the Cincinnati, Ohio,founder of the non-profit also called Beaded Hope.
